Singer Justin Bieber is not going to retract his statement about not getting any photographs clicked with his fans despite a backlash from a lot of people.

After one of his Instagram followers called him "a do**he" for making such a decision, the Canadian pop star took to Instagram to share another lengthy message which explains his situation, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The "Love yourself" hitmaker wrote in a post: "Years ago it was impossible to even take a picture at anytime. Not everyone was accessible to a camera. Now everyone has a camera phone and Now it's just a different thing. If you think setting boundaries is being a do**he, I'm the biggest do**he around, but I think it's smart and will be the only way I last".

The 22-year-old singer went on defending his decision and said he wants to "enjoy" his life and "not be a slave to the world and their demands of what they think I need to do".

His "no picture" policy comes after several fans took pictures of him strolling through Boston Common and the Public Garden barefoot.
